the failure of u.k. security services to prevent the beheading of a soldier in london puts them under scrutiny is the islamic attack threatens to further divide british society. rights rage on for a fifth night in stock own with schools and cars set on fire police have pleaded for reinforcements to contain the violence in the swedish capital. and the evolution of the war on terror obama again values to show. that defends the cia strange strikes is heartbreaking but necessary.

and i welcome good to have you company watching r.t. coming she live from moscow with me andrey farm. now british security forces will face serious questions from parliament over the machete murder of a soldier in london it's been revealed that two of the suspects had been known to five for some time the alleged attackers beheaded their victim in broad daylight on wednesday saying it was revenge for britain's military action abroad two other people are being questioned r.t. sara firth reports now from london. a flag at half mast a grizzly attack with a machete style knife and a murdered soldier his death leaves behind a two year old son the seemingly behind this crease a max seeking to bring scenes of violence usually seen in war ravaged parts of the world to the london suburb of will in a poignant interview r.t. spoke to an army officer he told us of the reaction among some in the armed forces

to remain anonymous anger of the moment and. not scared scared. you never get someone to. be scared i witness accounts of the priests attack details the men chanting is the best slogans as the body of soldier drama leverage be a second battalion the royal regiment do you say they only pleading they asked people to be da then if you listen to the words of the attackers themselves it's clear that they will wish to bring the war which they saw prosecuted on the streets of baghdad and kabul to the streets of london to speaking at a press conference london mayor boris johnson okayed many senior political figures trying to distance this latest act of violence in the case of recent a.b.c.'s exploits this is not a question of blaming the religion of islam it is certainly not a question or blaming any aspect of british foreign policy or what our british

troops are do in operations abroad when they risk our lives on behalf of all of us the london mayor in charge at the time of the london two thousand and five bombings disagrees they are lying they are completely complicit with the united states policy to cite tony blair was with george bush they are prepared to stand and say well we think this strategy has been a disaster it has been just not just for the young man killed on the streets of london but for the hundreds of thousands of. people in afghanistan and in iraq who've been killed a simple reality if you invade other people's countries they will come back it's one side of an argument but one that's going to be weighing heavily on many now that this has hit so close to home you feel less secure i think that's one ace. you think if we went out there that perhaps would be more space scope for al

qaeda to produce the cells they'd be operate more within the u.k. because when we're out there we're constricted in space and not allowing them that freedom and over there and that means their base of operations over here was we can both say the arguments because we're out there were inspiring the more motivating them presence out there and sort of motivating the cells that back in the u.k. to operate more and carry out more attacks as the police investigation continues a deep sense of shock and outrage from the local community here in southeast london at that brutal attack and they sentiment echoed across the country as people struggle to come to terms with how a crime like that could happen here. r.t. london well indeed germany from the stop the war coalition says there has already been a spike in attacks against muslims in britain following the sandwich murder. well certainly there are some people who want to drive

a wedge the factions in the far right are trying to use this to divide people at the moment the vast majority of people do not accept. that attempt do not want this attempt to succeed but of course one of the things that's happening in the media and elsewhere is that there's a demonization of muslims going on so this is resulting certainly in the rise in attacks on mosques and other muslim buildings it's result it's resulting in a roys in racism against muslims who have been a whole number of incidents of people who've been attacked in the street and so on and of course we really don't want this to happen and we totally reject that somehow muslims are part of our society there are many many muslims in london and elsewhere in britain but there are many people from all over the world and born

large london is a city which is very successfully managed to develop a society which is highly diverse culturally racially and so on and we don't want that to play. well the alleged boston bombers you carried out the attack on the city's marathon had similar motives the message that just how to survive left in the boat he was hiding in refer to us military for a saying when you attack one muslim you attack all muslims and one of the london machete killers was shown on video saying his attack was an eye for an eye and it to you through truth because british soldiers kill muslims every day both cases appear to involve terrorists known as lone wolves meaning they're not attached to any terror network well earlier my colleague bill dodd discussed this issue with r.t. . it's like we're looking at something of a new phenomenon in the so-called open-source jihad there's a website out there it's actually a periodical online magazine which provides all sorts of recipes for disaster

literally for example how to make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom from the chef and you can use a pressure cooker in order to do that it says the ingredients are readily available they're not going to cause any suspicion if you're going to purchase them and you will basically get away with murder literally now this is not the only recipe that's out there so to speak they're also talking about techniques to wipe out large numbers of people there are also a dish there's also in addition on how to blow up buildings and so on and so forth as a matter of fact the even have in addition targeted. muslim women and suicide bombers and it's positioned as of lifestyle and fashion magazine and it sounds almost borderline observateur or on the borderline funny but it's not because literally there is a plethora of information out there on internet and it basically teaches people how to kill other people and you annoy we can access this security services doing about this because clearly they know where it's who coming from go they do

something absolutely yes it does seem like they're actually keeping track of in some instances we know that in both cases the killers as well as this one i brothers were under the radar but the main question of course is why didn't the authorities do anything to prevent the attacks from happening because we're looking at an enormous a number of young men primarily of. muslim faith who are out there reading these websites and there are the target audience of these websites and they can essentially be their own terrorist leaders so you'd think they would be under the cap of the authorities and get it doesn't seem like the authorities have done anything to prevent these attacks from happening of course to keep people from dying and that is the main problem that we're facing here right now. so what you think about this murder you can join of vote on our website this is how the polling is going so far more than half of those who cast a vote believe it is fifty seven percent if you believe blowback against u.k. was abroad is the reason for this attack nineteen percent believe it is an act of

violence by mad men fifteen percent there believe it actually was an isolated act of homegrown terror and the remainder that is nine percent say was orchestrated by foreigners you can change those figures all you have to do is go to r.t. dot com. stockholm is reading is two schools a police station and dozens of cars were set ablaze in the fifth night of riots twelve people were arrested as rioters and police clashed with stone throwing youths in paul archly immigrant districts of the swedish capital artie's peter all of reports from the suburb of who's been where the troubles first fled. nice neat

and normal not the type of place you would expect to see this. speak on the outskirts of stockholm and the epicenter of sweden's issues with race and it's bubbling over in sweden you get welfare you get access to the education system up to university level you get access to public transport to libraries to health care to everything and still they feel that they need to throw stones a molotov cocktails it's ridiculous it's a bad excuse the violence in the peaceful city it's become a political football it's the swedish democrats are exploiting these events they make it all about immigration to suit their needs they see being anti immigrant is being produced. for the past week stone throwing in car burning become the norm in this part of town known for its high unemployment predominantly immigrant population all sparked after a sixty nine year old man was gunned down by police while brandishing

a knife that let loose a barrage of emotions it's the state that creates this type of ghettoization of money then we've everyone from abroad into these parts of town when it comes to unemployment sweden is below the average however almost one quarter of under twenty five's are out of work prompting some to say it's time for further action saying a lack of control by government has led them to the situation the police can put the ride down in five minutes if the politicians were to allow them although swedes defer over what caused this week's violence they are in agreement that it's government policy that must be changed to avoid scenes like this being repeated on the streets of stockholm peter all of r.t. sweden. well lars hedegaard a journalist with a right leaning swedish newspaper says the unrest is fueled by prominent figures

with something to get if you look at similar instances in other parts of europe you'll see it eventually that there is a plan behind that what i think is behind it is stretched some people would want to gain recognition as the stakeholders in society in other words there are people who would like to be in a goshen a negotiating position reserving the authorities and so if they can sort of make things happen and make them go away this proves they have or are in the local community and they are people that you have to reckon with the swedish minister of justice was asked what is behind this what's the motive and she said there must be many different motives unemployment the dissatisfaction no hope for the future etc she did not mention islam one where and i think you see a pattern here i mean when you talk to her about the the beheading in

london and david cameron came out and said this has nothing to do with islam i mean this is a pattern of western leaders they will not acknowledge that any such disturbance can have anything to do with islam. remember got plenty more for you online including. shock waves through russia with an eye pointing magnitude earthquake off the country's far east coast felt thousands of miles away in the capital and cutting edge technology saves a child's life american doctors before unprecedented surgery repairing a one year old with an implant created on a three d. printer you can get the full story on our website.

and i welcome back a new face to the war on terror was on file by president obama in a major speech on america's national defense policies for the second time in five years he again promised to try to shut guantanamo bay but when it came to drone warfare the president a paid less enthusiastic about change promising any guidelines a washington correspondent. reports. president obama says he's appointing new people new on voice at the state department and the pentagon who will specifically work on the transfers of tunnel detainees it is not really specify when the transfers will begin or how this will be done but he did say the administration is lifting the ban on transfers to yemen the yemenis are the largest single group of prisoners at guantanamo fifty six out of eighty six detainees who've been cleared for release are from yemen president obama also says he asked congress to lift restrictions on bringing the detainees to the u.s. to be tried by military commissions here in the state looks like after all these

years of inaction indifference and injustice one tunnel detainees finally got to president obama's attention which is just really sad that it took a massive hunger strike and so much physical suffering for them to be heard remember we've heard president obama talk about closing the prison five years ago nothing happened moreover he signed a law that made indefinite detention illegal he shut down the office of the state department that was working on the transfers and just two months ago a pentagon official was in congress asking for nearly two hundred million dollars to renovate the prison so just a little while ago the prospect of closing the prison seemed so very distant now it seems we could be seeing some action on the part of the administration but president obama has never been a guantanamo fan his preferred strategy is targeted assassinations the administration has been very secretive about how they determine the targets innocent people have died in those strikes and it has contributed to the growth of extremism in places like pakistan but we've heard the president mitigate the

adverse effect that the drone strikes are having he of course underscored that the drones keep u.s. troops out of the battlefield he spoke extensively about how much he likes drones as opposed to other military strategies at one point he said putting u.s. troops on the ground would trigger an international crisis would lead to more anger among the locals which begs the question where the bombing from air does not trigger an international crisis or whether the local somehow like being bombed more than being shot it the u.n. has questioned the legality of the use of drones and here's how the president addressed the issue america cannot take strikes wherever we choose or actions are bound by consultations with partners and respect for state sovereignty. america does not take strikes to punish individuals we act against terrorists who pose a continuing and imminent threat to the american people when the president talks about consultations with other countries one should mention that you have the whole

population of pakistan its parliament unanimously opposing the drone strikes so the administration may be in consultation with the governments of those countries but obviously not the people there the president said this wednesday he signed a presidential policy guidance on the use of drones which is supposed to lead to the establishment of some guidelines oversight and accountability now also on the issue of legality did mr still operates under the congress authorization for the use of military force adopted in two thousand and one which says the u.s. is at war with al qaeda and its affiliates based on the threats that the president talked about in the speech and he talked about the threat coming from al qaeda a few different parts of the world the war on terror is still on and the drones are here to stay obama is going to have another try shutting guantanamo bay but attorney david remes who represents seventeen grand tandem obey inmate says he's off to an even worse start the second attempt. we had been led to expect at least

in the media that president obama would do something constructive all he offered however were the same empty promises that he's offered before he continues to defend indefinite detention he is going to appoint an envoy who has no power to do anything beyond what obama allows him to do he keeps plame in congress for the problem when he has the authority to transfer men and appointing a special envoy actually he didn't he simply designated a point person within the pentagon to address these issues my fear is that people will conclude from listening to this speech that there is forward motion the problem has been solved guantanamo is closed and everybody can go on to other things that's exactly what happened in two thousand and nine and i'm very sorry that there was no forward movement here when i saw it and democrats are hailing obama's speech is a new beginning a sentiment though not shared by republicans they accuse the president of

sacrificing national security and even during a bomb a speech that was dissent with an angry audience member of being a school would act with any of my colleague ivan and why the woman forced obama to go off script something that we haven't seen really before was that the presidential veneer the the obama veneer was punctured somewhat by a heckler in the audience and i think we can have a listen and have a look at how obama dealt with that he went on to. we went on. and. i. were addressing.

the heckler was media benjamin of code pink with the heckling itself and that it took place is a real indication of. angry people are as far as we could pick up on the audio she she she pretty much addressed every element of obama's obama's speech so she called on him to compensate families who have been destroyed by joint strike drone strikes and she called on them to close guantanamo bay called called on him to release the prisoners who have been set for release for up to ten years from the camp but he dealt with he's a consummate performer he and he dealt with it very well as any politician of his stature would he be point to the fact that free speech allowed this lady to have an opinion and he felt she went on a bit and i think about stagey and after a minute or so we've had certainly had enough for me the key takeaway is that the policy of. strikes it needs to be changed obama is definitely trying to move responsibility for growing strikes drone strikes out of the shadow of the cia and

into the department of defense and he's certainly trying to do something about guantanamo but i think the key takeaway the key lesson is that these two elements of u.s. policy of the so-called war on terror are absolutely unsustainable and when it comes to a bomb is a drone based war on terrorism author and activist david swanson feels the changes the president proposed don't go far enough. he claims that he is going to further limit his murder by drone program including applying these arbitrary criteria met in secret by himself to his own if these reforms and limitations are needed on this program then what of the conduct of this program here too for what security threat was a sixteen year old boy what security threats are the thousands of victims of these drone strikes including children and women and seniors and so-called signature strikes these are strikes to kill people without knowing their name based on

behavior that suggests they might be resisting an occupation of their country what about strikes at rescuers well documented strikes at the rescuers of victims of previous strikes what imminent threat to the united states are those strikes preventing or are they not rather there are becoming. a new primary were proving to all of anti-american terrorism what a four thirty pm g.m.t. abby martin discusses america's future if i think ends terrorism in brightness set and has a quite tight of what's coming up. there are deeply ambivalent about war. but having fought for our independence we know a prize must be paid for freedom a price for freedom a well let's just break down how costly this so-called freedom has just been in the last twelve years over six thousand six hundred u.s. servicemen and women have been killed in iraq and afghanistan but the civilian

death count is much more grave in yemen and pakistan drone strikes have killed almost three thousand four hundred people so that's a really heavy human cost for that so-called freedom and i'm not even talking about the six trillion dollar price tag of the afghanistan and iraq wars according to a new harvard study so has the war on terror really been keeping us free. look at other news making headlines around the world the u.n. has with each step could confirm syrian rebels used chemical weapons and that in march the material provided by a russian journalist includes a video from the site of the alleged incident and interviews with with eyewitnesses and doctors who examined the victims it is still unclear whether it was the rebels or the syrian army who used the alleged weapons u.n.

experts have been stopped from investigating by syria he keeps them of being on the western pressure. a gunfight is raging in the center of the stands capital kabul taliban militants have reportedly barricaded themselves in a government building it started after two powerful explosions one of which hit close to the hospital used by the country's intelligence agency the blast collapsed part of the building's wall but there have been no reports of casualties so far. and the international monetary fund chief has arrived at a special court in paris for a second day christine lagarde is being questioned over her role in a four hundred million euro payoff to a controversial businessman while she was france's finance minister the payment was allegedly used to settle a dispute with the state owned bank the case is being seen as an example of the cozy relationship between the country's elite and the government and at least five soldiers have been killed in a roadside bombing in the restive certain region of thailand the troops were on

their way to provide security for a group of bird is travelling to local temples no one has taken responsibility for the attack yet although muslim insurgents are active in the region. and twenty four people are now confirmed dead in the lebanese port city of tripoli after six days of syria linked violence thursday also saw reports of sunni to support the uprising in neighboring syria and other whites who backed president assad using heavy weapons like machine guns the army is expected to step in if the violence doesn't end. that's all for me for a minute i'm back with more news in half an hour but stay with us as we bring you the cutting edge of tomorrow today in our show technology.
